Data Mining and Exploration (DME)

Response to 2016/17 survey feedback for DME.

I agree that the treatment of PCA was too detailed.

Important components of the course are the computer labs and a
real-world data analysis project where practical skills can be
trained. The goal of the lectures was to ensure a good understanding
of the methods used in the labs and project.

The project was assigned six weeks before the hand-in date, which
should be sufficient to complete it despite assignments from other
courses.
